Well I heard a man say, that life is just pain
So I pulled back the hammer and I blew him away.
I left the room before the rattle was heard
Couldn't help think that he got what he deserved
And another man said that Jesus is the light
But he'll only help you out if you're straight and you're white.
You can be you're own God, just act like you are
Because actions they speak louder than words.
Well I slit his throat before his last word fell,
With blood on my boots I ran like hell.
There's an evil that lives in the heart of all men,
And if you'll do it once then you'll do it again.
And you'll live long enough to know you're not right
But whatever helps you fall asleep at night.
Now his kids are cracking whips over backs that brought the fall.
And as history repeats all we know,
Is that we don't know nothing at all.
We don't know nothing at all.
We don't know nothing at all.
I broke a girl's heart and Lord I felt bad
But I wasn't ready for the life she had planned.
I buried down 'neath those Arizona pines
Where paradise creek it meets the great divide
There's an evil that lives inside this heart of mine
I did it again though, God I tried.
I've lived long enough to know i'm not right
And now I can hardly close my eyes.
